Backup Your Word

Stand behind your documents


Backup/restore or transfer AutoCorrect, AutoText, Macros, and other critical files from one version of Word and Windows to another


  1. Normal.dot:
    Stores formatted AutoCorrect entries, AutoText entries, keyboard shortcuts, menu customizations, custom toolbars, styles, macros.

  2. acl file:
    Stores unformatted AutoCorrect entries (the majority of your AutoCorrect entries).

  3. custom.dic:
    Words you add during spellcheck.

  4. Templates you create (.dot files).
From ProductivityTalk.com:
MS Word's critical files

Word comes with a supplemental macros template that includes the AutoCorrect Utility. The utility is used to backup and restore entries. If you only do the backup portion, it will create a regular Word document that you can print.. In Word 2002/2003: it's part of the support.dot (included on Office installation CD)

AutoCorrect Utility

Also: Export AutoCorrect
